Since everything about Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas is larger than life, it’s not surprising that the ship will boast a large choice of nightlife options. Scheduled to enter service in December, 2009, the 220,000-ton ship will sail on year-round service from Fort Lauderdale carrying 6,000 passengers.

“Entertainment Place” is a complex of different entertainment venus including Blaze, the hottest nightclub at sea; Jazz on 4, an intimate lounge filled with live jazz and blues; and Comedy Live, featuring comedy. Dance enthusiasts also will be able to enjoy an elegant evening in Dazzles, a dance lounge featuring musically themed evenings, dance lessons and competitions.

Inspired by prohibition-era Chicago, Jazz on 4, with paneling, plush sofas and chairs and velvety drapes accented with hand-stitched Swarovski crystals, will provide an intimate experience as guests enjoy soulful rhythms. Blaze, with its dramatic entrance of doors ‘burning’ with hot flames and a ‘charred’ threshold, delivers the quintessential nightclub experience where guests can dance the night away to pulsating music in a hip and trendy atmosphere.

The Opal Theater, Oasis of the Seas’ state-of-the-art 1,380-seat main theater, will feature a thrust stage and proscenium extending into the audience space to create a more intimate and interactive environment. Entertainers will make their entrances from unexpected locations around the venue and perform aerial acrobatics enveloping audience members in an experience which unfolds around and above them. The popular Studio B with its ice skating rink will continue to showcase ice shows and serve as the locale for a variety of themed events.

Dazzles spans two decks with an expansive floor-to-ceiling window offering views of the Boardwalk below. The new dance lounge will offer a variety of musical experiences ranging from 1940’s big band to disco to ballroom evenings. In the evenings, the space is theatrically illuminated with constellations of small twinkling lights reflecting off glass and mirrored surfaces above and below. During the day, Dazzles will be open for guests to enjoy the view of the bustling activity on the Boardwalk over a drink or to learn a new dance move with a professional dance instructor.

The On Air Club, located in the Royal Promenade, will provide 24 television monitors featuring news, sporting events and music. In addition, passengers can put on a performance of their own on stage singing karaoke or create their own music video in a private video booth. Also in Royal Promenade, are other venues, Bolero’s Latin club and the Schooner Bar, featuring sing-along entertainment. Club 20, a late night dance club experience under the stars, will transform the adults-only Solarium into an evening hot spot.
